IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use water or our on grease res—
smother the re with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat
or grease may catch re if allowed to become too hot.
• Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to
the side of the range when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent
is located under the left rear surface element if your
model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent
is located below the backguard for models equipped
with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do
not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or re.
WARNING
• Storage in or on appliance—ammable
materials should not be stored in an oven,
warmer drawer, near surface units or in the
storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and
towels, as well as ammable liquids. Do not store
explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the
range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —children
should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler
drawer, warmer drawer or lower double oven.
CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface cooking units may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other ammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufcient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing
the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and oven door
window.
• Wear proper apparel—loose-tting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other ammable

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it
on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
• Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having at bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efciency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high
heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
• Do not immerse or soak removable heating
elements—Heating elements should never be
immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves
during normal operation.
• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top
use.
• When aming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch re. Pay particular attention
to the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood
or lter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning hoods.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
• Make Sure Reector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking
may subject wiring or components underneath to
damage.
• Carefully check the reector pans, drip bowls, and
coils for packaging material. Remove all packaging
material before using the cooktop.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the cooktop.
• Do not allow grease to accumulate around
surface burners and drip bowls.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a
list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
CAUTION
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface unit drip bowls, or reector pans. Only
use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or re.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located under the left rear surface
element (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm air
passes through the vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block the oven vent.
Fig. 1
Oven vent located under
left rear element
Types of oven racks
Your range may be equipped with one or more of the oven
rack styles shown.
Flat
oven rack
Flat handle
oven rack
Offset
oven rack
The at oven rack or at handle oven rack (some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) is designed to place
the base of the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower
than normal. This rack design provides several additional
possible locations between the standard positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
Fig. 2
Removing, replacing & arranging racks
To remove - pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
To replace - t the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack
back into place.
Arranging - always arrange the oven racks when the
oven is cool (prior to operating the oven).
Oven indicator light
The oven indicator light is located on the
panel just above the oven door.
The oven indicator light will glow when the oven is turned
on. A quick glance at this indicator light when nished using
the oven is a good way to be sure the oven is turned OFF.
CAUTION
• Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
When using the appliance, oven racks and cooktop will
become very hot which can cause burns.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or re.

Use proper cookware
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Fig. 1
Surface indicator light
Your range is equipped with one
or more surface indicator lights
located on the panel just above
the oven door.
The surface indicator light will glow when one or more
surface elements are turned ON. A quick glance at this
indicator light when nished surface cooking on the
cooktop is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are
turned OFF.
The size and type of cookware
used will inuence the setting
needed for best cooking
results. Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using
proper cookware as illustrated
in Figs. 1 & 2. Cookware
should have at bottoms that
make good contact with the
entire surface heating element.
Check for atness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (See Fig. 1).
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and
be sure to read all the information they have available as
well as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality at bottom canners when home
canning. Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom
(see “Cookware material types” in the Before setting
surface controls section).
• Use only a completely at bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when home
canning using a ceramic cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does
not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner. It is recommended to use smaller
diameter canners on electric coil and ceramic glass
cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when rst bringing the
water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of
food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily
(See Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor however will retain
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
IMPORTANT
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over 2 differ-
ent surface cooking elements at the same time. This can
cause uneven heating results.

CARE & CLEANING
Surface elements and drip bowls
To remove the surface elements and drip bowls
1. Lift the edge of the drip bowl across from the terminal
end. Lift the surface element and drip bowl
together just enough to clear the cooktop.
2. While holding the drip bowl and surface element,
gently pull the terminal end out from terminal plug.
DO NOT remove hold down clip (if equipped) from
the drip bowl.
Surface elements may be unplugged and removed to make
cleaning the drip pans easier. The surface elements clean
themselves when they are turned on. Food spilled on a hot
element will burn off. Food spilled on a COOL element may
be cleaned with a damp cloth—any remaining soil will burn
off the next time the element is used.
Cleaning drip bowls
Wash in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse
and dry while still warm. Hard to remove, burned on soil
can be removed by soaking the drip bowls for about 20
minutes in a lightly diluted liquid cleanser or a solution
of ammonia and water (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of
water). A nylon scrubber may be used after soaking. DO
NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool, they will scratch
the surface. Always rinse with clean water and polish dry
with a soft cloth.
To replace drip bowls and surface elements
1. Slide the terminal end on the element through the
opening in the drip bowl (See Fig. 1).
2. Align the element support to rest on the rim inside
the drip bowl. If your drip bowl is equipped with a
hold down clip, align the element support opposite the

General cleaning precautions
Remember to follow these cleaning precautions:
• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance manually.
CAUTION
• Make sure drip bowls are in place - Absence of
these bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
• Never immerse a surface element in water.
• Be sure the range is cool before removing surface
elements or drip bowls. Be careful not to bend
terminal ends when replacing surface elements after
cleaning.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface drip bowls, or reector pans. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or re.
CAUTION
• Before cleaning any part of the range, be sure
all controls are turned OFF and the range is
cool - Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon
as possible. Regular cleanings will reduce the effort
required for major cleanings later.
• DO NOT line the oven walls, bottom, racks or
any other part of the appliance with aluminum
foil. Doing so will destroy heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and cause permanent damage
to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the
interior surface of the oven).
• Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.

CARE & CLEANING
Caution for aluminum use on the cooktop
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface elements under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum
is much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the
cooktop. If aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when
using the cooktop, the utensil may be damaged or
destroyed.
For models that have a visible lower bake element
ONLY - This bake element was designed to be tilted up
using your hand from the front of the bake element for
cleaning purposes. Remove the bottom oven rack before
raising the element. Do not to raise the element more
than 4 or 5 inches from the resting position.
Cleaning under lower element (some models)
Cleaning under cooktop (some models)
1. Turn electrical power off at
the main source or unplug
the range.
2. Replace bulb with a new 40
watt appliance bulb.
3. Turn power back on again
at the main source or plug
the appliance back in.
4. The clock will need to be
reset (some models). To
reset, see “Setting the
clock” in this Use & Care
Guide.

• Solutions to common problems BEFORE YOU CALL
Problem Solution
Poor baking results. • Many factors affect baking results. Make sure the proper oven rack position is used. Center
food in the oven and space pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the oven to preheat to the
set temperature before placing food in the oven. Try adjusting the recipe’s recommended
temperature or baking time.
Appliance is not level. • Be sure oor is level, strong & stable enough to adequately support range.
• If oor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.
• Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs at base of appliance until the rack is level.
• Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear not level. Be sure cabinets are square &
have sufcient room for appliance clearance.
Cannot move appliance easily.
Appliance must be accessible for
service.
• Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance
accessible.
• Carpet interferes with appliance. Provide sufcient space so appliance can be lifted over carpet.
Surface element too hot or not
hot enough.
• Incorrect control setting. Be sure the correct control is ON for the element that you are attempting
to use.
Surface element does not heat. • Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only at, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight
cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the
material affect heating. Heavy & medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans
heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.
Entire appliance does not operate. • Make sure cord/plug is plugged correctly into outlet.
• Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized service agent.
• Electrical power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for
service.
Oven portion of appliance does
not operate.
• Be sure the oven controls are set properly for the desired cooking feature. See Setting
Oven Controls in this manual or read instructions “Entire appliance does not operate” in this
checklist.
Oven light does not work. • Be sure the light is secure in the socket. Also see “Replacing the oven light” in Care & Cleaning
section.
Oven smokes excessively during
broiling.
• Incorrect setting. Follow broil instructions in Setting Oven Controls.
• Make sure oven door is opened to broil stop position.
• Meat too close to the broil element. Reposition the oven rack to provide proper clearance
between the meat & the element. Preheat the broil element for searing.
• Meat not properly prepared. Remove excess fat from meat. Cut remaining fatty edges to prevent
curling, but do not cut into lean.
• Broiler pan and insert wrong side up and grease not draining. Always place insert on the broiler
pan with ribs up & slots down to allow grease to drip into pan (some models).
• Grease has built up on oven surfaces. Regular cleaning is necessary when broiling frequently.
Old grease or food spatters cause excessive smoking.
Flames inside oven or smoking
from oven vent.
• Excessive spillovers in oven. This will happen for pie spillovers or large amounts of grease left
on the oven bottom. Wipe up excessive spillovers before starting oven. If ames or excessive
smoke are present follow broiling instructions in Setting Oven Controls section.
Drip bowls are pitting or rusting
(coil cooktop models only).
• Foods with acids, such as tomatoes, if allowed to stand in/on bowls will cause corrosion.
Remove and wash drip bowls as soon as possible after a spill over.
• Normal environment. Houses located along sea coasts are exposed to salt air. Protect bowls as
much as possible from direct exposure to salt air.
Drip bowls are turning color or
distorted (coil cooktop models
only).
• Bottom of cookware extends beyond surface element and touches cooktop surface. This can
cause high enough temperatures to discolor drip bowls. DO NOT use cookware of this type. Pan
sizes should match the size of the element. Replacement drip bowls may be purchased from
your appliance dealer.
